In an extraordinary acknowledgement of innovative prenatal care, Dr. Megha Shah’s ‘VachanUtsav’ initiative has been commended by Mr. Narendra Modi, the then Chief Minister of Gujarat and the current Prime Minister of India. This unique program, focusing on the significance of reading during pregnancy, has showcased an enlightened approach to prenatal development. Understanding the profound impact of early exposure to language and education, ‘VachanUtsav’ has been at the forefront of introducing expectant mothers to the joys and benefits of reading to their unborn child. Our initiative is grounded in scientific research that suggests a baby’s development in the womb can be positively influenced by the mother’s engagement with literature and spoken words.
We are immensely grateful to Mr. Narendra Modi for recognizing the potential of ‘VachanUtsav.’ His appreciation not only celebrates our current efforts but also ignites a broader conversation about the importance of prenatal intellectual and emotional well-being. Our commitment is unwavering as we continue to support and empower mothers on their journey through pregnancy and beyond, promoting a foundation for lifelong learning and bonding through the power of reading.
